Research that lands
in your inbox, not a feed.
Every analyst, founder, and operator wants the same thing: a short daily brief on the topics they care about, delivered to email, with a way to ask follow-up questions. A Loomal research agent assembles the digest, sends it from a real address, and answers questions in-thread.
API Primitives used
mail_sendDeliver the digest
Daily brief goes from a real research identity, threaded by topic for clean follow-ups.
mail_list_messagesWatch for follow-ups
Reader replies with 'tell me more about X' come back into the agent inbox for deeper research.
mail_replyAnswer in-thread
Follow-up questions get researched and answered inside the same brief thread, growing into a real knowledge conversation.
Newsletters are write-only.
Every research newsletter dumps content into an inbox and forgets the reader. The reader can't ask follow-up questions, can't drill into a specific item, can't request a different angle. The relationship is one-way and the research is shallower because of it.
An agent runs the digest as a real research conversation. The brief goes out, the reader replies with what they actually want to know, and the agent goes deeper — at machine scale, with human-feeling depth.
How to build it.
mail_sendAssemble the digest
Agent reads source feeds, picks the items relevant to the reader's brief, and sends a clean digest from the research identity.
mail_list_messagesWatch for follow-ups
Reader replies thread back into the inbox. Agent classifies follow-up questions and triggers deeper research.
mail_replyAnswer in-thread
Deeper analysis comes back inside the same brief thread, building context over time.
Example prompt
“Every morning at 7am, send me a 5-item digest on AI infrastructure news. If I reply asking for more on any item, dig deeper and answer in-thread.”

Why research belongs in a real inbox.
RSS readers and feed apps treat research as broadcast. Email treats it as conversation — but only if there's an agent on the other end that can actually answer. Loomal gives the agent the inbox, the model, and the audit trail to do that.
The result is a research channel that learns from your follow-ups and gets sharper over time, instead of a static feed you stop reading.
Reader preferences scoped
Topic preferences and follow-up history live in the agent's vault, scoped per reader.
Per-brief audit
Every send and follow-up is logged with the research identity.
Identity per topic
Different research domains can run on isolated agent identities.
